All Devices iOS 13 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Why is Failbook asking for bluetooth access?

It’s completely relevant to their business model to know what you’re printing and listening to, right?

So any external disk is possible to connect? What about file systems, will it support exFAT or only APFS and HFS+? Anyone with the beta that can tell?

Also, can anyone confirm that Lightning-enabled iPads will get this too and not just USB-C-iPads (the third gen)?

I just checked: it works with exFAT. I'm beyond happy, since I have both Windows and macOS machines and using NTFS or HFS+ is a pain in th... it's a bad user experience.

I thought Facebook always wants to access everything on your iPhone. LOL

Well, I'm glad Apple is telling us about it so I can lock that infernal app down even further. I know, you're going to say just use the website, but the website just doesn't work as well as the spyware, I mean app.

They use WLAN and Bluetooth to track your location even if you disabled GPS.

Anyone with a 2015-2016 Hyundai Sonata Sport with Nav able to confirm that CarPlay is working?

They're still there for me. Open Contacts app and "Groups" shows top left. Tapping it lists my groups.

[doublepost=1559637566][/doublepost]A couple of things I'd like to see in the new swipe keyboard feature (as I was using gboard until today):

1. Clicking back/delete should immediately delete the entire word if I press it right after swiping a word, as it means it got the wrong word. Having to delete it letter by letter is irritating.

2. Swiping a text replacement shortcut should give me the option (across the top row selection list) of the actual replacement text, not just alternative "spellings" of my text replacement.

I'm not a registered developer but the feedback app is still there so I've logged the above as requests. I've also requested the MacOS dashboard back so they may just ignore all my requests

EDIT: Apparently even developers now use the Feedback app (instead of the ol' Bug Reporter). https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/03/apple-feedback-assistant-developers/

I literally said that they are not missing from the contacts app, but that they are missing from the phone app. I don’t use the contacts app. It’s redundant

Ah ha. So Tim took a potshot at Zuck yesterday then. Bravo.
[doublepost=1559652876][/doublepost]So what's the deal with our wallpapers now?

Is Apple really screwing us again by darkening them if we're in dark mode?

Carplay is working on my 2019 Rav4... a few playback issues but i think that might be app related more than anything. (castro)

Installed it on my iPad Pro 12,9-inch 2. Gen and have to say so far it's running much better than expected. Haven't really run into any major issues and all the apps I've tested are working as intended and expected.

Hard to really judge the battery life as I haven't really been using it for a while so I've only picked it up as I wasn't brave enough to install it on our iPad Pro 12,9-inch 3. Gen or my iPhone Xs Max without experience with the release first.

Getting tempted to install it on my iPhone Xs Max, how is the experience with the battery life?

If I were you, I wouldn’t put a very first beta of a major release on your main phone unless you don’t need or care for its reliability. For me messing up with iOS 13 on a spare iPad is more than enough to holding me until September.

This is a great feature because now I’m getting requests to use Bluetooth from apps I never knew used it. And now I can have more control over that. Failbook and YouTube don’t need to use my Bluetooth as far as I’m concerned, so I just refuse its request.

Thank you Apple.

Can you post some screenshots of the home screen vertically?

[doublepost=1559653274][/doublepost]

Does your physical keyboard work? My space bar is all goofy.

Works fine.

 

[Freakonomics101]

If they removed 3D Touch like a few have claimed, I will be terribly disappointed.

 

[VSMacOne]

Can someone with an iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard check to see whether it's now possible to hold down a key on the keyboard to get an accent selection to pop up, like on the Mac? For example on the Mac if you type an 'e' but hold down the key, it gives you options of è é ê etc.

It’s not possible.

Doesn't look like they've removed support for it in iOS13, but the rumor was that 2019 phones would drop support so we'll know in September I guess.

 

[Natya Sadella]

If they removed 3D Touch like a few have claimed, I will be terribly disappointed.

They didnt really removed it but its very different now. For example a 3d touch on a whatsapp notification does nothing. Or if you 3d touch a app icon, its waaaaaaaaay slower to show the options and its not slideable anymore. They are 100% on the way removing 3d touch even on devices with a sensor

I just tried 3d touching a link inside a mail. Its just peek, not pop anymore. A deeper press does nothing, it should open safari and the link right away

3D Touch is gone, it's long press now.... Basically it's the same thing because it's done almost the same way...

But waywayway slower. If you like using 3D Touch in ios 12 you will be 100% disappointed

Safari can automatically close tabs in Safari.

One bug - any browser will crash when you try to upload an image

I successfully uploaded an image here without a browser crash. I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to...

 

[s2mike]

Anyone else having issues in Safari where double tapping on part of a webpage will *not* zoom in?

 

[Texh49]

For a new beta this is surprisingly solid without issues.

 

[A MacBook lover]

Wtf no OTA yet?!

You can disable this under the wallpaper settings by unchecking the "Dark Appearance Dims Wallpaper"

I decided to reply to your post without reading it to the end

You have been on the boards since 2011. This isn't your first rodeo with betas, is it? These battery life questions with first betas, or betas in general ALWAYS get the same responses.....

Do not misinform others, please. I can 3D Touch just like I used to, all across the board.
